The other car is the crumple zone

- willmadden 7y agoHahahahaha. Seriously though, crumple zones in cars and trucks aren't the sheet metal on the body. I'm sure Tesla thought about safety ratings. My guess is the "cyber truck"'s sheet metal will crumple in an accident. A car wreck has a lot more force than some guy swinging a sledgehammer at medium force.
- gamblor956 7y agoI think we're all sure that the designers thought about crumple zones. And I think we're all pretty sure that Elon overrode those designers and demanded a design and materials that wouldn't crumple.
- zaroth 7y agoWhich makes no sense considering the crash test ratings on Tesla's cars are the best in the industry. Tesla has an extremely good history of designing safe cars. There's a big difference to "stands up to parking lot car doors and shopping carts" and assuming that it doesn't crumple in a collision with another vehicle.
